Hello Infrastructure, Currently the Log4j team is experimenting with a Java swing GUI that we would like to be launched by Java Web Start. I was under the impression that the www.apache.org server already had the necessary MIME type configured to support this, but unfortunately it turns out not to be the case.
For Java Webstart to work correctly, the mime.types file needs to have the following entry (this is taken from a Apache 1.3 server, 2.0 semantics are probably different): type=application/x-java-jnlp-file desc="Java Web Start" exts="jnlp" At the moment *.jnlp is being delivered as text/plain which causes Java Webstart on a client machine to ignore it. Would you be so kind as to add this new mime type in the appropriate format to the /usr/local/apache2-install/www.apache.org/conf/mime.types file and have Apache reload the configuration? We are hoping that the following URL will then start to be delivered in the correct MIME type: http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/webstart/chainsaw/chainsawWebStart.jnlp regards, Paul Smith
